How to copy HTML formatted data and paste it into a PPT formatted document

Development
1

I opened a webpage containing a table, copied the HTML table content (the copied content should actually be similar to <table><tr><td>xxxx</td></tr></table>), and then pasted it. I found that I could correctly paste the table data into Word and Excel, and the content and cross row and cross column information would not be lost. But when pasted into a PPT format document, the content will become a text box shape and will not create a table

Hello @gulixiang i had a chat with Miklos about this issue.

Miklos: possibly the problem is that a lot of parts of LO just accept RTF for rich text and the browser world went with HTML or plain text, so that needs a bit of work on the core side to get it working
